It has been a year since Ahmad Shuja posted. He is no longer in Afghanistan, having started study in the USA towards his ambition to be a journalist. I mention him though because his back posts are SO good! You can learn so much from him about his home country, and about being a reasonable Muslim.

Why Marriage? asks Bloggernista. “This is the first week that marriages between same-sex couples were legal in California.

Indigo Jo, a British Muslim, leaves you in no doubt about what he thinks in Interview with ‘Shaikh’ Faisal. “Apparently his next stop is Nigeria. Any country with a recent history of inter-communal strife, which Nigeria has in abundance, should not even think of letting someone with a history of hate preaching in. I have in the past said that I disagree with deporting the likes of Faisal, because they can cause much more damage in a poor country than they can here, where Faisal built up only a small following; to hear of this individual being allowed to preach in places like South Africa and Nigeria, where there has been mob violence, including rape and murder, between Muslims and Christians in some places, reinforces this somewhat.”
